 VISUAL ARTS



The Watermill Center | Byrd Hoffman Watermill Foundation

Megan Whitmarsh & My Barbarian

Tourists From The Future



Thursday, June 16, 2011
6:30 p.m.
Musical Visual Participatory Event

Reservations (required)

The Watermill Center
39 Watermill Towd Road
Water Mill, New York 11976

On June 16 at 6:30 p.m. Megan Whitmarsh and My Barbarian present Tourists from the Future. Wealthy eco-tourists travel back in time to visit “nature,” of which the future is bereft. These “Futurians” will spend their residency at Watermill discovering, collecting, and archiving artifacts and relics. These findings will be presented at a lecture in the future. In the present, visitors to the Center will be invited to participate in an interactive, inter-dimensional musical / visual performance.
As artists working consciously amidst the noise of popular culture, these LA based artists expose the creative force within, and render it as capable of transformative power. Their work transmits a radiant possible future without denying the apocalyptic connotations of modern life.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Megan Whitmarsh: Los Angeles based artist Megan Whitmarsh grew up in the 70's and 80's, and, like many of her generation, uses the visual noise of her youth as inspiration. She works in a variety of low-tech media including drawing, comics, stop-action animation, hand-embroidery and soft sculpture and strives to synthesize an optimistic vision of the future with the detritus of modern life. She has shown in New York, Miami, Los Angeles, Iceland, Belgium, Hong Kong, Korea, Switzerland, Japan, Italy & Spain. meganwhitmarsh.com My Barbarian is a Los Angeles-based performance collective founded in 2000 by Malik Gaines, Jade Gordon and Alexandro Segade. The trio performs in site-specific plays, musical concerts, theatrical situations and produces video installations that play with the spectacular while engaging viewers critically. Their interdisciplinary projects explore and exhume cross-cultural mishaps and misadventures drawn from history, mythology, art and popular culture.
